Aaahahaha!  I think the club would benefit from a Surprise at the club! with Gucci Mane 
I'm on a major reggae kick.. even bought 2 books about reggae
WTF is books.
I really enjoyed the Marley documentary from a few years ago.
Also, Rockers is great fun and a cool look into a semi-fictional world of the late 70s reggae scene.
Made in Jamaica is good as well for a more modern view of Jamaican music.
Not a fan of the The Harder They Come film, but dig the soundtrack.
If you can still find them online, Mikey Dread's Dread at the Control podcasts were really cool. Made me extra sad when he kicked it.

Reggae is definitely a genre that can lead one down a rabbit hole of culture and music… Ended up in a roots reggae band for a couple years and it took over my life, but in the end I guess I was just an overenthusiastic fan.   
Second Stone Roses track much more inline with what one would expect from them…  more dance floor groovy and  less football stadium singalong

hopefully they do more dates, come this way, and we can get a show.

definitely won't be coming to the US or any other country.  it's looking like the current tour will be it.  the final show of the tour in their hometown is being billed as their last ever.  if they were to add dates, they would be in canada (the atlantic provinces didn't get any shows…).  there has been some concern in the media about gord's health and his ability/stamina to complete the tour.

that final concert on August 20 will be live broadcast : "The Kingston show will begin at 8:30 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast and streamed ? commercial free ? on CBC Television, CBC Radio One, CBC Radio 2, cbcmusic.ca and CBC's YouTube channels."  i expect that viewership in canada will be just a hair below the hockey gold-medal game in vancouver.

That's the same attitude that some Europeans seem to have regarding the rapey-gropey culture they've imported!

I saw this! I can't really imagine Franz Ferdinand without him.. their signature guitar sound would be gone…

ween is the musical incarnation of St Sarah, Zappa and Thin Lizzy
not some schlock rock band with about zero talent or originality  and the only reason anyone knows about them is Caulkin was in the band

I seem to recall you being enraptured at the Pizzas first Black Cat show.
